A while ago I came across this recipe which sounded really interesting. It is a pasta dish with eggplant, balsamic vinegar, goats cheese and mint. What a combination! I would never have thought to put those flavours together. I was a bit surprised to see the mint in a savory dish. I decided to only melt in half of the cheese and just crumble the remaining cheese over the pasta. It turned out pretty good. Oven roasted eggplant is always good. The balsamic vinegar and goats cheese went well together and the mint added a nice freshness to the dish. Mint seems to be more versatile than I thought.
